Since the club was founded in 1948 ASEC Mimosas have won the Ivorian league title a staggering 24 times. Their secret to success? Their academy. The Academie Mimosifcom has produced some of the nation's best ever players, with Yaya Toure, Salomon Kalou, Didier Zokora and Gervinho all having spent time at the club as youth players. The ASEC production-line quite often churns out some unbelievably talented players during a standard Football Manager save, and due to the youngsters' minuscule wages and values, you can pick them up for buttons. Be warned, however. If you're playing as an English team, getting a work-permit for an Ivorian youngster can be pretty stressful.
